They borrowed (and tweaked) the quote for the Superman movie: “In an age of performative cruelty, kindness is punk AF. Be punk AF.” – Daniel Abraham #punkaf

my husband just sent me this

tumblr user nitewrighter says:
Me: I don’t get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I’m like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it’s the fascism. You’re completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you’re also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you’re going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

If Musk doesn't end his evening in a squad car, Wisconsin is just announcing that sufficiently wealthy & connected people get to publicly announce they're committing crimes, and the state will be too afraid to do anything about it. Criminal law is for the poor.

Apparently the Luigi Mangione sex tapes are a myth. Please respect my need to grieve during this difficult time. #luigisextape #whomakesthisstuffup

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We're not done yet | 18F

In the face of injustice, action is preferable to silence," write Mark Engler and Paul Engler. But while some disruptive actions can lead to victory, others can self-isolate and alienate activists from the wider public. How can movements use disruptive action effectively?

Why Protest Works—Even When It‘s Unpopular

High-profile, disruptive protests can lead to increased polarization—but often still yield increased public support for the protest’s goals, even if the tactics are criticized.

Does the Times regret its contributions to those attacks?

Washington sells its electricity to California because it buys cheap electricity from British Columbia. If Canada institutes a 25% tariff on electricity expect that cost to cascade down the coast. I'm sure something similar will happen around the country. #tariffwar

Oklahoma chipping away at SpEd services by calling them medical. This allows them to remove the services from the IEP and makes them the responsibility of the family. This will continue into other states. Once the Dept of Ed is abolished there will be no protection for disabled children.

Text from the Oklahoma law removing certain services from IEP‘s.

Being gentle with racists and homophobes is how we got here.
